Summary

Headwaters Forest Act - Extends the boundaries of the Six Rivers National Forest, California, to include certain lands to be referred to as the Six Rivers National Forest Addition. Directs the Secretary of Agriculture to: (1) acquire land within the boundaries of the Addition by donation, by purchase, or by exchange for other lands owned by any department, agency, or instrumentality of the United States; and (2) develop and implement a land acquisition plan giving priority to the acquisition of lands within the boundaries of the Headwaters Forest Wilderness. Authorizes appropriations. Designates the Headwaters Forest Wilderness as a component of the National Wilderness Preservation System. Requires the Secretary to develop a comprehensive management plan detailing measures for the preservation of the existing old growth redwood ecosystems in the Addition, including: (1) a prohibition on timber sales from lands within the old growth redwood groves; and (2) measures to restore lands affected by previous timber harvests to mitigate watershed degradation and impairment of habitat for the marbled murrelet, spotted owl, native salmon stocks, and other old-growth forest dependent species. Sets forth provisions regarding payments to local governments in lieu of taxes for lands acquired under this Act. Directs the Secretary to study specified lands in the Addition, analyzing the area's potential for addition to the Headwaters Forest and identifying the area's natural resources.
